Quik-Solid® is a solid, granular cross-linked polyacrylate Advanced Superabsorbent Polymer that rapidly
absorbs and retains large volumes of aqueous solutions. The absorptive properties of Quik-Solid® are
ideally suited for the absorption and solidification of radioactive and other types of waste waters.
Product features:
Reduces Waste Disposal Costs – expands in volume by less than 1%
Non-Biodegradable Polymer (per 40 CFR 264.314 (e)(ii)).
Freeze-Thaw Tested: will not release liquids after freezing and subsequent heating to160° F
Not release trapped Ionic contaminants if solute evaporation occurs.
Passes Paint Filter Test (EPA 9095).
Approved for use at Hanford and other licensed facilities
SEG Certified Incinerable Material with a heat value of 5560 BTU/lbs.
Strong Ion exchange capability allows for heavy metals to be bound and wastes to pass TCLP.
